It really is a special moment to experience the reactions to and narratives being provided for the Platner and Mamdani campaigns:
Hey, check out my multiple Nazi tats and history of warcrimes!
Aw, you're so sweet!
Tax the rich, I guess
Hello, Anti-defamation league?!
but it's okay, the dude with the tattoo is against aipac! So it can't possibly be another fetterman situation
When I think of Jews, I think of evil rich people. And this is your fault actually
Being a Zionist requires you to be anti-Semitic.
No you fucking dolt, it's anti-pizza! NYC is the home of more pizza than anywhere in the world! Tax the rich means tax the (rich) sauce on the pizza and that's deeply troubling. The fascist communist far-middle hate cheese and sauce, but since we all love those things they need to hide their anti-pizzaism. Geez, get informed already Maria.
ENOUGH WITH THE FREDOPHOBIA 
Italy isn’t real. Just a bunch of city states pretending to be a country.
I fully expect this person is lying, but it frustrates me to no end that she feels entitled to project this meaning.
One of my best friends is Jewish, and was raised in the conservative-but-not-orthodox tradition. We've spoken once about Palestine about two years ago, and I've not brought it up with him again because I'm afraid his opinions haven't changed. But during this discussion, he told me, seemingly honestly, that he was afraid to go to the campus of the nearby large university because of the pro-Palestine encampments. I asked him why and he told me because they were all very anti-semitic. I said how so? He said, well, they chant things like "From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free and kill all the Jews". And I said, well hold on a sec, did they actually say that last part? And he said no, but that's what they mean.
In all other aspects my friend lives in reality and engages with it as a rational person would, but (and he admits this) when discussing Israel he completely abandons reality. It is truly incredible the work that Israel has been able to accomplish to make themselves so prominent in the minds of so many Jewish people around the world that they will abandon all their other good and moral beliefs and even reject reality in its defense.
Here I was thinking Jews already had to pay taxes.
You're literally doing antisemitism yourself ya fuckin' bozo.
This whole thing really gives me the creeps.
Just vote @andrewcuomo tomorrow
Beautiful juxtaposition.
Vote cuomo so everyone in NYC gets a creep!
WW2 Japan tier antisemitism, very nice very nice, thats vintage by today's standards
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
"But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words."
Jokes on them I also believe in the power of physical violence 
That's the Fascist's greatest weakness, and why "bash the fash" is super effective. They can't wordplay out of a knuckle sandwich. It also hits their ideology directly because it's hard to feel "stronger" when the "weaker" kicks their ass.
Fascism Reality is ripe for piercing by the Real :zizek:
you people never fail to find the biggest idiots. i say that hoping this person is just some random asshole and not like an award-winning editor for the NYT lol.
Pretty sure she's running for city council or something
Everything is about the jews is just weird conspiracy thinking like QAnon.
Jewish Bernie
Love it when ghouls hide behind religion like a shield.
I don't care what gods Billionaires worship, because I hope they have an early meeting with them 
wait have I been paying taxes for no reason???
Diaria Manzilo
How dare they bash the top donor to his opposing candidate, and have the highest elected "socialist" in America come to their campaign event
This was first an arguement put forward by a non-Jewish Labour MP during the Corbyn smears. Strangely, no one went after them for antisemetism.
Equating all Jews with Israel hasn't improved the global image of Israel. I know, let's try the same strategy with billionaires! Seriously, the bullshit antisemitism cries are only going to actually lead to real antisemitism one of these days.
Rule 2, where is the link so we can see the replies roasting her?
